BREAKING: Adam Driver’s 65, the sci-fi action thriller that struggled at the box office, is set to make a dramatic return on January 1, 2024, as it hits HBO Max for streaming. This big-budget film, which previously garnered a disappointing 36% on Rotten Tomatoes, is now capturing the attention of audiences eager for escapism.
Despite its rocky start, early viewers have shown more enthusiasm, giving the film a 64% audience score. The impending streaming release signals a shift in viewer interest, as many are ready to experience the chaos of watching Driver navigate a world filled with dinosaurs.
Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, 65 follows Mills, a dedicated pilot on a perilous mission to secure medical care for his ailing daughter. When disaster strikes and an asteroid crashes into his ship, Mills finds himself on an uncharted planet—only to discover he’s not alone. Teaming up with a young survivor, Koa, they must traverse a hostile landscape, realizing they’ve crash-landed on Earth—65 million years in the past.
The film’s premise—combining time travel with a prehistoric backdrop—has sparked curiosity, especially as it features Driver battling ferocious dinosaurs. However, critics have pointed out that the film’s potential often feels squandered. As one review noted, the climactic T-Rex showdown disappointingly lacks impact, leaving viewers wanting more.
Will 65 resonate with a new audience on HBO Max? As streaming grows, this film’s performance could redefine its legacy. Fans of Driver and sci-fi enthusiasts alike will be tuning in to see if this action-packed adventure can finally gain momentum.
Stay tuned for updates as the streaming release date draws near!
